Drawing inspiration from the landscape of Sweden, with its clean lakes and deep forests; Ange’s paintings express her respect for the practical, almost utopian way of life in Sweden that is so shaped by living closely to nature and in tune with seasons that are heightened and intensified by the clear Nordic light.

“We go North to Sweden every year, we have done so for nearly 16 years now. We are drawn back to a condition of light; a saturation of colour; a vast landscape and to a view towards freedom and space. There, I can lose myself in a deep forest, or be alone on a vast lake, far from land; you can feel that you can tread where no one else has before. You have the space to ingest the landscape and to listen to it.” -Ange Mullen-Bryan (January 2013)

In 2000, Ange Mullen-Bryan gained her BFA (Honours) from Winchester School of Art at the University of Southampton. In 2008 she was short-listed for the John Moores Painting Prize, the UK’s best known painting competition. This is Ange Mullen-Bryan’s second solo exhibition at Celia Lendis Contemporary and we are proud to present this extraordinary new body of work.

The Business Start-Up Competition aims to support individuals over the age of 18 who have the ability to come up with a new business or social enterprise idea that has real market potential. The participants who enter the competition will be required to produce a concise business analysis on their idea (e.g. development of the idea, USP, competitors, SWOT etc). A fully feasible business plan is not expected, just a general overview of the idea to indicate future success. Participants can easily enter by downloading the application form.

The deadline for submitting an innovative business idea is the 12th of May 2013. Once the deadline has passed the experts at Marketest will internally shortlist the best business ideas before announcing the winner on the 30th May 2013.

From 27 March, Hampton Court’s Baroque Palace will be transformed into a special exhibition space, full of intrigue, drama and surprise, with six magnificent, royal Beds at its heart. In addition to the rarely seen private furnishings, the exhibition takes a contemporary twist on the distinctive Baroque style of the palace. Through pioneering interpretation, visitors will be plunged into an immersive, interactive world of the Stuart Court.

As part of the contemporary commissions, curated by Universal Design Studio, Studio Roso present ‘Mirror Chandelier’, an intricate, reflective lighting piece, which creates a dazzling effect as the natural light bounces off the ceiling, floor and walls. The chandelier forms part of Studio Roso’s ongoing ‘disc series’ of large-scale, mirrored feature pieces.

Strictly Science: keeping one step ahead is an interactive exhibition. Taking place from 4th-14th April 2013 in the Exhibition Road foyer of Imperial College London, the exhibition juxtaposes a century-old laboratory – showcasing the work of early MRC research pioneers – against the high-tech, video-game facilitated neurotechnology of today. A sound installation raises important questions about the future – through the opinions of luminaries from Melvyn Bragg to Robert Winston – inviting visitors to project their own hopes and fears. From December 2012, we are inviting MRC scientists and staff to an exclusive preview of future content, which we hope will stimulate the growth of an exceptional archive of imagined futures.

Isoculture is looking at a city of the future isolated from the wider environment where humans become self-efficient. Food, energy, medicine, for example, is derived from human origin and man-made biological systems. Outside of the Isoculture city, the environment becomes a ‘no-mans’ land.

The creative investigation prepares inhabitants of the city to live in isolation from the wider environment. The artists will create an Isoculture laboratory in the gallery to consider how new science and technology might prepare us to live in hostile environments or travel on long space missions. These two scenarios predict the future application of an Isoculture lifestyle besides the current need to limit human impact on Earth.

Underpinning all of the work are the questions: can we truly live in isolation from our environment? If we were to trial an Isoculture city, what would the experience of living in this city-scale experiment be like? How will the city, the societal systems and human inhabitants be transformed?Burton Nitta’s work to address these questions begins to value our current relationship with the environment on profound new levels. Their speculative Isoculture proposals foresee the challenges ahead with our human limits when considering long distance space travel or mass biodiversity loss.

During the project, we have been transforming the Watermans gallery into the Isoculture laboratory where the artists with a group of professionals meet weekly to conduct experiments and plan the future of the culture.Discussion dates: Wednesday 20 March (Prof Amer Rana), Wednesday 3 April, and Wednesday 10 April.

Susan Aldworth is an internationally renowned artist represented by GV Art gallery, London. A display of her works entitled The Portrait Anatomised will be shown at the National Portrait Gallery, London in room 38a from March – September 2013. The Portrait Anatomised is an installation of three life-sized portraits of individuals living successfully with epilepsy. Epilepsy is caused by disrupted electrical charges in the brain, and while it affects 1 in 100 people in Britain, there are many misconceptions about the condition. Aldworth’s unique working methods combine traditional print processes with state-of-the-art images such as medical brain scans, EEG data and contemporary digital photography. Each portrait is two metres high and made up of nine separate prints. The project has been funded by Guy's and St Thomas' Charity and is supported by the Epilepsy Society.

This year Easter Dynamics will provide you with renowned national touring company Tavaziva Dance who present cutting-edge new work representing the diversity of Black British Dance. The company specialises in fusing African and contemporary dance, creating a unique dance style that is both contemporary and rooted in African cultures as well as German Jauregui dancer with Ultima Vez/Wim Vandekeybus, who will be leading technique classes and a Partner Workshop.

MTV defined a generation with its bite-sized, fast-paced offering of 24/7 music videos, but it was long before then that the medium had become a vital form of artistic expression. Showcasing the music video as an artistic medium in its own right, the exhibition follows its history from the very beginnings in the 1920s to its most contemporary manifestations.

Placing the music video in the context of the history of visual arts and film, FACT's exhibition celebrates the variety of the medium and invites visitors to become acquainted with its filmic predecessors and take a peek at the future. Providing an insight into experimental approaches to the medium, it focuses on the recent shift in the audience's role from passive viewer in the 90s to active producer now.

The exhibition showcases the work of major visual artists whose work has been heavily influenced by the pop video. Artists featured include Andy Warhol, Pipilotti Rist, Wolfgang Tillmans, Carsten Nicolai and Christian Jankowski.

A selection of the best home grown talent in the shape of Liverpool bands and filmmakers is included throughout the exhibition.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a programme of events and exhibitions for music lovers of all ages.

The attic workshop of the first hero of the British Industrial Revolution, the engineer James Watt, will be opened up to visitors as part of a new permanent Science Museum exhibition, James Watt and our world: opening on 23 March 2011. Accompanied by a new gallery of previously unseen objects and innovative multimedia, the exhibition will present a vivid portrait of the working life, ingenuity and character of the first mechanical engineer to be propelled to international fame and spoken of in the same breath as national heroes like Isaac Newton and William Shakespeare.

When Watt died in 1819, his workshop at his home near Birmingham, was locked and its contents left undisturbed as an ‘industrial shrine’. Then, in 1924, the complete workshop, including its door, window, skylight, floorboards and 6,500 objects used or created by Watt, were carefully removed and transported to the Science Museum. Although the workshop has previously been displayed at the Museum, visitors have never been invited inside until now. The vast majority of its contents, once hidden within drawers, on shelves and under piles of tools and papers are now revealed. The new display sets Watt’s life and work alongside his iconic early steam engines which line the Museum’s Energy Hall.

James Watt was seen by contemporaries as the founder of the Industrial Revolution. His improved engine meant that steam could be used everywhere, not just in coal mines, boosting output in breweries, potteries and textile mills. It drove Britain’s factories, pumped its mines and helped start a long surge in prosperity.

Watt was the first engineer to be honoured by a statue in Westminster Abbey and was even called ’the greatest benefactor of the human race’. On his death, the workshop became a place of pilgrimage for historians. His biographer J.P. Muirhead, wrote, the ‘garret and all its mysterious contents…seemed still to breathe of the spirit that once gave them life and energy’.

This exhibition puts Watt in the context of Britain’s emergence as the first industrial nation. Watt played a pivotal role in these events which opened the road to the consumer society of today... He was perhaps the first ‘scientific entrepreneur’, adept at ‘turning science into money’ and using his skills to generate wealth in a longstanding partnership with entrepreneur Matthew Boulton.

Watt’s workshop is packed with a bewildering array of objects including the world’s oldest circular saw, parts for flutes and violins he was making and even the oldest surviving pieces of sandpaper. The exhibition will also include a roller press developed by Watt to copy letters, a forerunner of the photocopier, and a device used to mint and standardise the size of coins for the first time, developed for the Royal Mint.

One of the key objects of the exhibition is Watt’s original 1765 model for the first separate condenser - in effect the greatest single improvement to the steam engine ever made. This unassuming brass cylinder, thought to be one of the most significant objects in engineering history, was only discovered at the Science Museum in the 1960’s – lying under Watt’s workbench. The object remained unrecognised until research by the Museum revealed its identity.

Ben Russell, Curator of Mechanical Engineering, at the Science Museum, said “I am delighted to see Watt’s Workshop given a prominent place again at the Science Museum. To Victorians, the workshop was a mystical retreat and we are hoping that visitors will be similarly enthralled and inspired today. It’s fascinating that we still don’t know the exact purpose of every item in the workshop and we will continue to research this. It was both a functioning workshop and a personal museum of things from his entire life which he had kept, perhaps out of sentiment, but also in case they might come in handy.”

Andrew Nahum, Principal Curator of Technology & Engineering at the Science Museum, said “The extraordinary thing about Watt’s story is that it represents the crucial moment at which industry took off and transformed our lives. In the 19th century, Watt’s improvements to the steam engine and the industry it drove was claimed as a powerful contribution to British strength and to Wellington’s defeat of Napoleon. Watt became a new kind of ‘industrial hero’. Today, Britain’s commerce no longer runs on steam and Watt is perhaps less well known so we are pleased to be celebrating his engineering genius once more.”

As a mark of their contribution, James Watt and his business partner Matthew Boulton will be portrayed on the Bank of England’s forthcoming new £50 banknotes. In 1797 Boulton manufactured all Britain’s coins for the Bank with his new steam-powered machinery.

As Bank of England Governor, Mervyn King, commented when he announced their planned inclusion on the note, “So many of the advantages society now enjoys are due to the vital role of engineering and the brilliance of people such as Boulton and Watt, whose development and refinement of steam engines gave an incredible boost to the efficiency of industry.”

The exhibition is supported by The DCMS/Wolfson Museums & Galleries Improvement Fund, with additional support from The Pilgrim Trust and the Helen and Geoffrey de Freitas Charitable Trust.
